    Visiting the area and decided to check out this restaurant, other then the salad dressing tasting more like vinegar the food was OUTSTANDING and we will definitely visit again! I would like to commend the staff, they were EXTREMELY nice and the hostesses where so SWEET & even when we were running late and could not find the restaurant, the hostesses where so SWEET and understanding, which made the experience even better! Great Food, Great People! Thank you! :)

    Originally I had a 7 people reservation and I tried to upgrade it to 10 people but the reservation was blocking. Once arrived at the restaurant, one of the manager was able to accomodate us. Food was delicious, price was reasonable the service wasn’t the greatest… but maybe because it was very busy. Definitely going back

    Made reservations for 10p. Waited 20 mins to be seated. Appetizer came food was cold. Ordered the lamb chops, was told I couldn’t substitute the side because its a weekend. Lamb chops come they were cold and didn’t have the sauce on them. The food wasn’t good. I’ ve been to better Latin restaurants. Told the server we weren’t happy, said he would speak to the manager who never came to the table. He only took $4 off the bill. Mind you I saw the manager around the room all night at everyone else’s table. I will not be back. Wasn’t worth the 45 min drive.

    More Hype Than Substance: My Experience at Don Coqui. After weeks of seeing this place all over social media, I finally secured a reservation at Don Coqui. Unfortunately, the experience fell significantly short of expectations. The Wait Despite having a reservation, we were left waiting for our table with no explanation. The hostess was noticeably rude and seemed disinterested in providing any customer service. This set a negative tone for the evening right from the start. Service Issues Once seated, we faced extensive delays getting our initial drink orders. The appetizers arrived surprisingly quickly, creating false hope that the service was improving. However, our main courses were significantly delayed, leaving us wondering what was happening in the kitchen. Management Response To their credit, both our waiter and a manager did apologize for the delays and comped us a round of drinks. While this gesture was appreciated, it didn't fully make up for the overall experience. Notably, the head chef never acknowledged the issues or offered any apology, which felt unprofessional. ( I guess since we were not celebrities or acquaintances of the Chef) The Atmosphere The restaurant heavily markets itself as having a vibrant nightlife scene, but this wasn't evident during our visit. More concerning was the impression that they may hire people specifically to make dramatic entrances for social media content. The entire place feels engineered for Instagram rather than focusing on quality dining. Bottom Line While the food itself was decent (when it finally arrived), the combination of poor service, and an atmosphere built more on social media presence than customer experience makes this place difficult to recommend. There are many other restaurants in the area offering better food and service without the unnecessary hype. I'd suggest waiting until they prioritize customer experience over social media presence before considering a visit.

    Valet was $15 and had to be paid upfront Food was pretty good I did not see any Mofongo on the menu which I feel they should have offered. The views were great and it was very noisy as I ate dinner The rum, glazed pork chops are worth the trip But overall way overpriced
